at this time another gentleman from texas, mr. green. >> after both of us here are going to get used to our texas accents. i have a number of questions and i know i'll run out of time. but my first one -- i want to ask mr. barnett -- and i know there's testimony, there's a project labor agreement on the pipeline, does that project labor agreement cover the whole part of the pipeline, literally from where it ends in the district i represent up through oklahoma into canada? >> at the present time the project labor agreement covers approximately 90% of the work. there's a sentence in that's not written in the agreement. >> i know i've worked with folks from canada and i hope that would be dealt with because if we have a project laborer up north then i'd sure like my folks to be able to be covered by it. >> exactly. if we're going to sell this skill, than this craftsmanship in the pipeline we'll have to sell it all the way through. >> mr. ringo, one, i appreciate you being here. and i appreciate your work for your 25 years in the petr
